Stellantis unions FO, CFTC and CFE-CGC have signed an agreement with management validating a 5.3% wage increase by 2023, stakeholders said Monday. The signatory unions represent 62.4% of French employees, according to the manufacturer.
After numerous strikes in the fall at French sites, to request measures to support purchasing power, the Stellantis management had put this proposal on the table during the annual mandatory negotiations (NAO) that ended late Thursday night. to Friday.
“For an employee paying 2,000 euros gross, the pay increase will be just over 100 euros per month from January 1,” said Olivier Lefebvre, FO central union representative at Stellantis. “Being a signatory to the deal doesn’t mean it’s perfect. It means making sure it’s implemented to concretely increase our purchasing power.”
review clause
The CFE-CGC said in a statement that “the agreement will also allow measures that will improve the rules for distributing individual increases both in terms of the population covered and at the time of distribution in 2023.” The agreement provides, for example, for a revaluation of bonuses from 5 to 10%, with an increase in the teleworking bonus to 15 euros and the creation of a “Team Leader” bonus of 50 euros.
However, a “review clause” should allow the signatories of the salary agreement “to meet in June 2023 to examine the situation and propose possible corrective measures,” specified the CFE-CGC. For the HRD of Stellantis France, Bruno Bertin, “this majority firm demonstrates the maturity of the social dialogue within Stellantis and the desire to strike a balance between improving employee engagement and preserving company performance.”
Mobilizations scheduled for January
CFDT and CGT said they refused to sign the agreement, which does not require majority approval. The general budget increase to 5.3% “will still leave a good number of Stellantis employees losing purchasing power in 2023. We are far from compensating for inflation of 6.3%,” the CFDT said in a statement.
“How do you sign a salary agreement that will give a general increase of less than 4.5% when your CEO increases his salary by 17%? (…) How do you sign a salary agreement that does not give a general increase for executives when the group generated a net profit of 8,000 million euros in the first half of 2022?
The CFDT of the Sochaux factory foresees strikes during overtime between Tuesday and Thursday, while at the national level the union contemplates “joint actions at all sites from the resumption of January”.
